All Medical Colleges in Bangladesh are approved by MCI Act 1956 (Except USTC Medical College )

Bangladesh is Dry Country - Alcohol or any Drug consumption is illegal Now the apparent advantages, those we see, in Inter SAARC students exchange programs :-

1. Language: The medium of Instruction - English is easy to understand for its South Asian dialect in compare to the Chinese-English or Russian-English. In general, Chinese or Russian people do not understand nor do they speak English, a major barrier of communication with the Indian students.

2. Food: Taste and preparation of food are also similar in this South Asian region than how they cook in China / Russia. We visited China and Russia Medical Colleges several times and found that the local Chinese and Russian foods not similar to our tastes. PS. The Chinese restaurants those we see in South Asia have cooking style and tastes far remote than what authentic Chinese food tastes in China.

3. MCI Passing rate: Since the study pattern, syllabus, books are absolutely similar as in India, its quite obvious that MCI passing rate from Indian students from Bangladesh is far more higher than the Indian students studying and passing from China and Russia.

5. Airfare: Kolkata to Dhaka - only Rs 4500 one side (AC Bus available, only Rs 1500 one side, 9 hrs journey ) Kolkata to most of the colleges in China - Rs 16,000/- one side Delhi to Moscow in Russia - Rs 14,000/- one side
